Next month we should have extreme depression and unhappiness as a theme.

'Happy' is not my thing musically...

yes, challenging. I think it's way easier to make dark ambient textures, experimental sessions or agressive grooves among many others than a simple, gentle, uplifting, yet interesting, song. In other words, Mozart's art is beyond reach, for most of us (not that I ever ambitioned such an achievement). Even if his works may sound "easy" sometimes, the contrary is true.

I bet we'll have a lot of parodies or twisted interpretation of the theme, this month. My entry included, if I keep failing to find a way to start.

I really like it.

easy for most people to write that kind of music, no. easy for mozart to write that kind of music ... yes. for him it was as easy as breathing afaik. :-)

Ah well, I cracked and posted something

pljones, avoiding the issue, wrote:The drum track is me playing my AlternateMode TrapKAT to click, MIDI recording in Reaper, MIDI exported to MULAB, bpm upped a lot to 240 bpm

OK, so the click was set to 110bpm. Reaper, though, was set to 120bpm.

Sadness follows whilst trying to figure out why I could not align anything! Anyway, it didn't matter for this but I figured out how to fix it: convert from MIDI to Text (MIDI2MTX), edit the clicks per quarter note from 960 to 850, convert from Text to MIDI (MTX2MIDI). (I'm not sure why 850. My maths says it should be 880 but that didn't seem to work as well... I might try it again as I was having "some issues"...)

Hey, robojam... "3:05"...

It's a very different something from mine but just as "something". Nice chimes

Really? Ah f**k...I put a fade out at the end too and it showed as 2:58 in Audacity.

So my next question is to D.H. Miltz - can I edit a few seconds more of fade into it and resubmit?

I've had MP3 encoding do slightly weird things to timing occasionally. I double-check in {insert media player of choice here} just to be sure.

Yes.

Thanks - no other edits, just refaded the end so it's now 2:59.

I got my decoder ring. Thanks, Ben (and thanks to Meffy for all the help with the moderator stuff up to now).
